Check out the growth rings! Nice & tight. That tree didn't grow very fast. Excellent save from the firewood pile. (nice bowl, too :))

Oops! My bad. Thanks for the correction, John. Boogered up Beau's name, too. Is my face red? Fixed both.

I'm thinking I must be the luckiest guy in the world. Just got back from a week at the John C Campbell Folk School in N Carolina (y'all). What a great experience! Spent an entire week (12 hrs/day)...

To Leo and Roger - thanks much for the input and information. This is the exact thing I was hoping to get!

Thanks for the replies. But, oh my gosh! I tried to push my way thru the link (looong governmentese) but I never saw the word "polyurethane". Must have missed it. Is there an interpreter out there?

Not to hijack this thread but I have heard and read often that most (all?) finishes in common use are "food safe" when fully cured. I'm curious if this is opinion or actual fact and, if fact, where...

Might it be elm?

Nick & Mike have the answers (+1)

I have 2 lathes. One for larger or longer work and one for pens, etc. My "pen" lathe is a Jet 1220vs. I'm recommending any of the smaller Jet lathes, either the 1220 or the 1014. I'm thinking either...

Welcome.
Another answer - should you have leftovers that are wide enough, they could be an excellent "secondary wood". Support pieces and other parts that don't show or drawer sides or backs is...

I was laid up this past spring and spent a LOT of time watching YouTube videos. One of the younger workers out there is April Wilkerson. She did a folding outfeed table for her SawStop. I think it is...

Wade - Absolutely (saw not running, of course :eek: ).

Not an issue. There's a considerable amount of information out there from a variety of sources (SawStop included) that says the brake won't activate when that happens. Has to do with how much mass is...

Brian - yes, you can do just about anything you want. Just depends on what you are working with, what you want and how long you want it to last. If you're working with synthetic materials (acrylics,...

Lots of good responses and info on this one. Personally I have all kinds of clamps and I use different ones all the time. I agree 100% with those who have said to purchase what you need when you need...

Another one who saw the episode. I'd heard about the technology but hadn't seen a demo. Yeah, the double cartridges are cool. And the blade isn't sacrificed. HOWEVER, I saw a report that Bosch lost a...

Totally agree with John & Brian. I've done some honey locust (turned it green then finish turned it after drying) and it was a real bear. I was truly shocked at how heavy it was. And, yes, I had to...

Ditto above posts re Exotic Blanks. Dawn and Ed are first rate and they do a pretty good amount of CA business so you can be pretty sure it's fresh (which is important). I also like that they offer...

Ummm. So you were in coast down? Bummer.

Interesting. I'd always heard & read that a multistage unit would give the best results. Truth be told I've gotten good results with the Apollo but have felt it could always be better. And depending...

Didn't realize that was what you were referring to. Duh. I can be a bit thick headed at times. Actually, I did a bit more research and it appears the rolled steel pin is actually an addition Delta...

I have a 16-32. Would that help?

You get what you pay for. Evidently you aren't interested in getting top-of-the-line tooling (and paying the price for it). So, I'm thinking the Harbor Freight set might suit you just fine. It was my...

Anybody have experience with the Earlex 2-stage HVLP SprayPort with their Pro-8 pressure gun? It's on sale at Highland for a pretty nice price. I've been using an Apology HVLP conversion gun with my...

Hey gang. Thanks for all the input and offers! However, I put my crying towel away and tore the thing apart. Surprise, the drive pulleys were okay (will wonders never cease?). After playing with it...
